Salzburg Tours: Fräulein Maria's Bicycle Tour

I'll be honest: I hate bus tours -- I prefer the intimacy of walking and bicycle tours when visiting a new city. Salzburg is famous for its kitchy The Sound of Music tours, but I couldn't bear the thought of climbing aboard a bus and singing songs from the movie. At the same time, we would only be in town for a couple of days, and I knew a tour would be a good way to get oriented and maximize our time in Salzburg.

Fräulein Maria's Bicycle Tour focused on the sights featured in the The Sound of Music, but was also an outstanding overview of Salzburg. Our tour guide, Ian, was friendly and knowledgeable, and shared much of the city's history with us. We biked about 14km total, covering most of Salzburg's major sights, but the most impressive part was the amazing views of the mountains throughout the tour.
